Sugars
The total amount of sugar in one serving (1/3 cup). Currently,
no standard reference exists for sugar consumption. In addition,
sugar amounts listed on nutritional labels include added sugars
and natural happening sugars (ex. fruit, milk). For a more accurate
picture (to determine if sugar is added), refer to the ingredients
added at the bottom of the food label.
A good guideline to follow, try to limit added sugars to no more
that 10% of your total calories.
